MRLC 2023 Visitor's Guide

MURRAY RIVER, LAKES AND COORONG | THEMURRAYRIVER.COM 10 These guys can even arrange private tours to secluded river reserves where you can taste wine, gin, local produce and listen to live music – a popular option for groups and celebration events. Go your own pace One of the best ways to experience the river, is on a houseboat. Grab a group of friends or family (our biggest houseboats sleep up to 12) and explore the river’s stunning scenery close up. Whether you prefer to stay on board soaking in the jacuzzi, or find a quiet section of the riverbank to pull up for a campfire – it’s a holiday you must experience. If you’re not sure where to start, head over to the SA Houseboat Hirers Association website. Here you can find and book a huge range of houseboats departing various Murray River towns. The range includes everything from gorgeous little vintage boats which sleep two people, all the way to premium modern houseboats sleeping up to 12. Otherwise, check out our biggest fleet from the award- winning (and SA Tourism Hall of Fame inductee) Unforgettable Houseboats. These guys have modern houseboats, with most boasting heated jacuzzis and extra living space. WOW Factor Houseboats is a new experience on the river, and it certainly lives up to the name.
